Hi,

I encountered bellow problems when used Modus 1.0 IDE.

Board:CY8CKIT-062-BLE

1.I enabled hex output according to ModusToolbox_IDE_User_Guide.pdf

page 44 Enable HEX File Generation,

but bellow message shown after I selected the HEX file generate by modus.

"Hex File parsing failure. Unknown record type."

I noted bellow description in ModusToolbox_IDE_User_Guide.pdf

You can use the HEX file with the Cypress Programmer tool to program the device.

Make sure you set the Reset Chip flag.

Refer to the Cypress Programmer 2.0 GUI User Guide for more information.

and I want to know how to set Reset Chip flag,

and does it relate with Hex File parsing failure.

Best regards,

PSoC Programmer cannot parse hex files generated by ModusToolbox as the format is different from the ones generated by PSoC Creator. Please use Cypress Programmer as specified in the user guide.

To set the Reset chip flag, go to View > Settings and make sure it is ticked. You will be able to see the program settings and program successfully as shown below:
